Filmmaker Bryan Singer has settled the rape allegation made by Cesar Sanchez-Guzman, who said the “X-Men” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” director sexually assaulted him on a yacht in 2003.
An attorney for Singer confirmed Wednesday that the matter has been resolved. He also reiterated Singer’s statement that he never knew the accuser and didn’t commit the alleged act.
“The decision to resolve the matter with the bankruptcy trustee was purely a business one, as litigation costs would well exceed the amount requested by the trustee to pay off the creditors who were owed money when the debtor filed for bankruptcy,” said Andrew Brettler, an attorney at Lavely & Singer, which represents the filmmaker.
Sanchez-Guzman’s accusations against Singer are among a number of salacious allegations that have dogged the filmmaker in recent years.
